The Rambam classifies them as "midivrei sofrim v'hem mforashim al ydei
han'vi'im" (H. Shabbos 30:1,9). That's one of many examples where the
Rambam's classification of mitzvos seems less complex than what Hazal
had in mind. Ibn Ezra wrote a monograph on this subject (Yesod Mora),
but I've never seen a serious attempt to analyze the opinions of Hazal
on this. Has anyone seen anything about this?
